I am so so proud of you! It is incredibly difficult to break away from processed foods. I haven’t been able to do it myself I commend you on your determination!
Thank you!! I’m so happy this is working for me, and even though some days are harder, I’m so motivated to keep going right now! And the kind comments help motivate me to keep going too, thank you❤️
I have said this a few times on my channel, that "it's only' is the plan that I follow. I am only vowing to be healthy for 1 week. It's ONLY a week. Of course I can hold it together for a week! After the week I can reevaluate! So I love your plan!!!
Yes, that mindset helps a lot! When I think how hard it will be to do this forever-that is where I just give up. I’m going to check out your channel now, I love finding new journeys to follow!
Girl, I get this, being an all or nothing person. That is super healthy of you to recognize it and set it in a manageable bite for you. I'm glad I found your channel - I can't wait to watch your journey and cheer you on (And I'm right here with you-working on losing my own weight as well - currently 242 myself - it's a journey). You got this.
Thank you so much for the comment! Today was one of the hard days where I wanted to give up a few times, but I held on because of the commitment I made to this challenge. Your comment helped boost me-thank you, and good luck on your journey too!!
I am so excited to watch this journey. I'm going to try to do this as well. I'm not looking forward to the sugar withdrawal. Last time the sugar withdrawal lasted over a month and it really messed with my emotions. Alot of crying for no reason.
That’s great, I love that you want to do this too-it always feels better to go through something with others! And I agree, sugar is my hardest thing to give up! I’ve always been a sweets person
Thank you!! I’m trying to focus on how my body is looking and feeling since the scale is so slow to move. I really appreciate your comment, it helps remind me the progress is more than just the scale!
I always find it hard to stick to things because I take on too many "milestones" at once for my goal. Celebrate the small things and don't try to take on too much at one time. I also hate the summer heat.
No fast food is a great idea! What exercise are you focusing on this year? You should invest in some nice sweat wicking workout gear! i couldn’t survive without mine haha! I’m a sweat monster.
Don't take Ozempic -- that stuff will kill you. I'm getting help with my 40-year unhealthy relationship with food/disordered eating from this gal. Please watch her videos and see if she might be a good fit for you. Hang in there! www.youtube.com/@RachaelWrigley/videos
Thanks for the advice-I am concerned about the long term affects and tend to be too cautious to try things like that. And thanks for the video recommendation, I will definitely check it out!!
I actually have thought about it a few times! I really like what people say about it quieting the ‘food noise’ in their mind. But I’m kind of afraid of going on medications-I’ll have to do more research to see if that would be a good option. Thanks for commenting with help!
But really how much "damage" did you do? Look at your start to now. Is it going in the right direction? Then you're good! Basically you had a vacation. So what. At the holidays everyone "goes off the wagon" and it's fine. I suggest you make a plan in the future. Plan a vacation - even if it's just a day trip - for later on in the year. Then when start feeling down instead of spiraling you can think about the lovely time you'll have soon!
It was good of you to share some of your struggle with healthy eating. I love getting to-go containers when we go out to eat. Leftovers the next day are awesome!
Trust me, this has happened to other people. Do not feel alone.. A gal I work with was going on a girls trip, ended up driving home by herself in the middle of the night. Go ahead and cry…
If your 28 yo self could be a best friend to your 16 yo self what kind of friend would you be to her? Supportive? Encouraging? Loving? Loyal? Do it! Be her BFF! She’s still there, inside ❤
5lbs a week is amazing! Are you tracking your calories? I found that tracking my calories (weighing my food) and intermittent fasting has helped me the most! Not sure if IF is suitable for binge eating though!
Have a tiny bit of your favorites! Eat lots of beautiful yummy fruits! I can tell you are so excited to meet the healthier version of yourself! It’s going to be joyous ❤ Just breathe!
You can do it!! Focus on your qualities not others… your accomplishments, not others. Concentrate on alternative food choices. Fun foods! Go! Go! Go! ❤
Lovely, no 1 thing to do to loose weight is to start being kinder to yourself. Look at how hard you are trying, give yourself love and grace and think you deserve all the healthy goodness and peace that come with it. Punishing yourself to weightloss never works, so keep up the motivation and if you don't speak kindly to yourself who will? ❤ good luck!
